I hope that we will get more freedom in managing equipment and moving around the map and designing roads, rather than loading... loading...loading...loading and loading again as in Expeditions

[@G4mingWithJJ]

yeah i hope so as well it sounds like loading will be snowrunner like and then it will just ahve this construction aspect like road building and tree cutting and bridge building laying pipes and such that will be more construction ish. but yes i hope we have more freedom then just driving around like expeditions

[@insanitymanic]

Road Craft is kinda what I wanted snowrunner to be/ to act as, but I'm kinda torn of the idea, like it is now

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I hear ya there I think it’s testing phase for snowrunner 2 at some point. I think it’s a cool idea but this one will be to focused on the construction part for most players but we’ll see.

[@Zion-kk4ej]

What I don't understand is why they couldn't incorporate the road clearing elements into a sequel of an already tried and true concept which is snowrunner and mudrunner. Every novelty this game brings already exists conceptually in SR/MR, just needed to be implemented. Personally I don't see any new concepts to justify an entirely new spinoff title. Even in old Spintires we had mods that let us load and drop rocks and build bridges from logs, BAT-M and DT-75 tracked vehicles were also supposed to be implemented but never made it into official release.

[@jameson1239]

From what there saying they have made an entire new engine weather that’s game or physics engine remains unknown but that alone is pretty much worth releasing a new game for

[@G4mingWithJJ]

This is on a new engine so I don’t think some of the things would work such as tracked vehicles and we haven’t seen much of it so they may have other feature and stuff that wouldn’t work on the old engines as well. I think these are learning experience for what to put into the next game in the snowrunner series. I think it would have been nice to have these features if possible in snowrunner but I think they really are just trying to make spinoffs and see what the players like to maybe have some ideas for the next game in the snowrunner series.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah new engine they said that parts of snowrunner and expeditions were still using the engine from splinters so very old lol.

[@Zion-kk4ej]

The fact they have to keep making spinoffs means that they are so out of touch with the core playerbase (like why do they keep insisting with scouts and farming in current SN?). Of course I'd like the ability to clear paths, but that's one of the things everybody has been complaining about SR for ages. Just add a dozer and dump truck to a proper Snowrunner 2 with the new engine. The franchise is being fragmented so much now (there are 5 different titles) with yet another game which is basically the same, but half of the features have never been wished for by anybody. I have a feeling the whole paving and AI truck mechanics will end up being a similar disappointment like farming. Again, who ever asked for farming in SR? Anyways, just keeping my expectations low for now.

[@mahcheeksajiglin6540]

The vagueness scares me

[@G4mingWithJJ]

yeah im a bit weary with them saying we can drive on the roads to do some deliveries afterwards cuz why else make them but its focused on the construction part. i feel like it will be a delivery or 2 and not enough to satisfy my itch to deliver stuff. i know i will enjoy alot of parts of the game but it wont replace snowrunner so looking forward to year 5 and then probably the next game in the series

[@DisgruntledDoomer]

My biggest hope is that they finally get multiplayer working smoothly. I want proper crossplay support, lobbies, etc. And also shared worlds and achievements.

[@mahcheeksajiglin6540]

Don’t hold your breath. They’ve had many dollars and days to fix the servers for snowrunner and haven’t.

[@AtomizerX]

In-game chat, no kicking out someone when another player joins, no refueling bugs, no physics/logging bugs, etc.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah that would be nice as far as I am aware they haven’t said anything on this front.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

That’s very true and I also wouldn’t hold my breath lol. I think having better multiplayer will happen but how much better who knows.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

All of those would be great and hopefully we do get something like that.

[@patmokry3198]

Nice informative video dude. Looking forward to the game but also wondering if there will actually be a snow runner 2. But with some of these things put into it. Like actually fixing bridges and roads. Also like when you bring pipes to a flooded area and this mission is complete, the water should disappear

[@G4mingWithJJ]

yeah i think we get both year 5 and snowrunner 2 but i think its a 2026 or later thing. i wish w could have more interactions with ANYTHING lol people and animals. just even receiving the missions from someone would be nice

[@M1kk3M4n]

The ai drivers is really interesting. I wonder if you can watch them drive, like truck pov or only in the map.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah they kinda showed it in the gameplay trailer they were watching them drive from above I’m wondering if you can drive behind or informer and see how they do or if it’s only in that map sorta view.

[@ryze1648]

2025 will be the best year for games, we getting GTA6, a proper showrunner spin-off and hopefully we'll hear about FH6

[@H.EL-Othemany]

A new Mafia game too

[@G4mingWithJJ]

yeah i cant wait for gta 6 i love all the GTA games. im looking forward to this as well i think it will be very close to snowrunner with tasks contracts and upgrades sorta things so i dont expect anything crazy lol

[@G4mingWithJJ]

ohh really? i dont think ive beat any of those i played all 1 2 and 3 though

[@carl-josephkolb1564]

... and Civilisation 7

[@carl-josephkolb1564]

... and Kingdom Come 2

[@spoolysnail32]

Have they mentioned any reason why they have decided to go the route of not licensing anything? It’s a thing that’s really a bummer

[@G4mingWithJJ]

They said they are not done with licensing but it was in reference to all 3 games snow runner expeditions and roadcraft but they also mentioned it’s a complicated and long process and takes about 2 years. I think we will get some licenses but I guess I’m not sure I’ll try to look and get more info over the weekend as I have been pretty busy lol

[@snipermims2681]

They need to take snowrunner. Take this new spin off. Mix them together. Make it to where you can get out and walk. Maybe you get out and “strap” your load down. Or you get out and hook ur winch to a tree. Or some vehicles you lower ur tire pressure from outside

[@J.A.P_8950]

I know this is just speculation for now. With some of those answers from saber, my fear is the AI trucks will be specifically the specialized construction vehicles; cable layer, tracked crane, deforestation attachement. I think they are not going to open up these vehicle platforms for the player to manually operate, drive and operate their specific mechanics.....these will be the AI trucks & mechanics. Our job will just be to use regular trucks to haul these special vehicles to designated zones and then the AI will take over and do all the crane work, cable laying & driving, tree deforestation. I really hope not, because I suspect these are the exact mechanics that all us players want to manually manipulate ourselves. As well as drive these specialized vehicles, wether thats freely over the whole map or just within designated work zones.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

@@J.A.P_8950 I think it’s actually just the opposite it’s supposed to be a heavy machine based game not a such driving based. So you do all the heavy machinery stuff and you can do the driving or hire ai to do some of it but I guess we will see in time right?

[@J.A.P_8950]

@@G4mingWithJJ yes your right. I also try to be optimistic about expectations with snowrunner and this new game Road Craft. But I can't help to speculate based off sabers pattern of behavior when it comes to mechanics and optimizations. There is just so many mechanics in snowrunner you would think would get fleshed out but they don't, or they very slightly do and then leave the rest generic. For example the 963 oilfield bed, 69TS bed, tractor mechanics and some saddle trailer mechanics. These can be subjective for sure, but also all these vehicles present the opportunity to have more fleshed out mechanics but get untouched which in return makes them just as generic as regular truck with a just a flatbed....so sabers patterns of behavior have been consistent in that aspect up until the tractor trailers. Those trailers have added mechanics that activate and deactivate once you drive in and out of field zones. Great start point to start adding additional mechanics but so many others have been left untouched and it's been a consistent pattern for a while. So yes I hope I get to manually lay cables all over the map and use the deforestation attachment at my leisure but going off sabers past patterns with giving us autonomy with these types of heightened mechanics, It seems like they are going to severely limit us with these options. I hope I'm completely off my rocker and wrong though because if we do get full autonomy with these specialized vehicles, it's going to be FN amazing and could shift everyone over from snowrunner too Road Craft.

[@theonlystupidone657]

Well I like it but it is interesting that it’s not the continuation of snow runner but it’s also interesting that they’re trying to figure out new games. That are not like snow runner but yet they’re still coming out with snowrunner 2 maybe

[@Ezdine_G8261]

the main spintires/mudrunner series seems to be more about a mix of scouting and heavy hauling, while expeditions was a spinoff that leaned more to the scouting side, and this spinoff leaned more to the heavy vehicles side

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah exactly I think they are seeing what works and that way can make more informed choices on what to make the maps around in snowrunner 2 what vehicles to put into it what types of missions people would like to see. I think these all play into what we see in snowrunner 2 based on player reactions and sales.

[@strix4667]

I definitely won't preorder anything but I'm cautiously optimistic about Roadcraft. It seems to tick a lot of boxes that snowrunner players wanted to try so hopefully it actually works.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I will be getting it but probably not preorder until last minute. I enjoy con sim and snowrunner and farm sim so with cutting trees and building stuff and driving off road sounds like a fun game to me. I know a lot of the snowrunner player base won’t be happy as it’s not as much of a trucking sim as snowrunner

[@spoolysnail32]

Where are these questions being asked by the way? I’d love to be able to get on a discord myself and read through them all plus other responses

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yes it’s on discord some of this was from a snowrunner chat because they didn’t have a roadcraft chat set up yet but they do now so it’s moved on there. And yes they have more questions and answers then I can cover because by the time I make a video there is probably more questions wandered at this point lol

[@banditsix2870]

I hope that they utilize some of the tech they are building for Roadcraft for Snowrunner 2, so that we can see tracked vehicles finally in the game.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yes I think so I couldn’t see them going back to only non tracked vehicles for snowrunner 2.

[@toxicmuggle5788]

I hope on Xbox its playable and doesnt remove DLC/Modded vehicles when Crashing/Starting the game

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah it has issues for everyone but from what I’ve heard it’s really bad on Xbox so I am with you I hope they make things much better in that area.

[@mattevans4377]

I can already see the massive highways some people will try and build

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Right! I’m sure someone will attempt to fill a map with sand and stuff and specially if they have some crazy mods

[@TransAmDrifter]

Excavators would've been an awesome addition!

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah that would be cool but from what I understand and maybe I am incorrect i think we can add dirt but we can’t take it away so that’s why we have like a dozer blade and k700 has a blade to flatten. Maybe it can scoop up a bit if you put it down but I think of the soil that’s already on the map we can take that. But who knows it’s very early so maybe we fin that out in time.

[@TransAmDrifter]

@@G4mingWithJJ fingers crossec for excavators!

[@justinlynch3]

Sounds promising.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I think it will be a learning thing for the future of snowrunner the next game. But I think this game appeals to me as I like to play these kinds of ganes

[@latyak2531]

It would be great to get out and walk around the cars.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I think they confirmed now that walking around won’t be a thing I heard from a viewer in my discord. I haven’t went to see the comment myself. So I cannot confirm but pretty sure

[@rocksontrees]

I really like that they are trying diffrent things. All that will benefit when the Snowrunner 2 time will come. Otherwise we would have some minor changes, better graphics etc. Looks like total overhaul for me.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I agree imagine if they just made a game similar people would be happy that it’s mostly the same mechanics but also bummed out cuz why spend the money if it’s mostly the same thing. I think this way they can see what the most players liked which spinoffs did better and which of those had better or worse DLCs so for example season 7 had some of the worst sales numbers and the scouting spinoff as far as I can tell didn’t do very good so maybe they will stick to more of the Main gameplay mechanics it depends how many spinoffs they do and what sells but I think they will help snowrunner 2 when they finally do that one.

[@SherrifOfNottingham]

the "pretty" free bit is a bit... non committal That implies that it's not entirely free. Which can be anywhere from understandably not able backfill entire rivers, which is probably reasonable enough for most people, to "well it's not paint by numbers since you don't have to fill in the allotted area to build roads, but you have to sort of follow the existing road plan" It's kind of a concerning answer really, you'd figure "yeah you can build roads that lead to anywhere you want" would be the answer, especially if it's not going to be pre-defined "corridors" for you to build in.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yes so previously they said I’m sure there is a limit at some point and then they said that not in the numbers and pretty free. So that sounds promising and makes sense im sure there is areas where you can’t place it but it sounds like most of the map you would be able to if you wanted to. They also said they didn’t want to spoil anything and so they wouldn’t really answer any questions that haven’t been shown as they have other people working hard to make more trailers and gameplay videos and such that will be shown off in time so for me that answer makes sense they only want to talk about what’s been shown and clarify that stuff without leaking anything new. So I guess take it how you will and I guess time will tell but your right it sorta leaves it open for a big range of where you can and can’t place it.

food? info im assuming auto correct but all good ill give you food rex. thanks for the support as always rex

Looks and sounds cool,we'll have to wait and see.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I agree we have only seen the first bit of gameplay and are a long ways away from a release at the earliest 3 months out and at the latest about 15 and it will probably be somewhere around 8-12 that’s my guess anyways.

[@jimbeamguy02]

I know off topic, but is there a snowrunner 2 in works??

[@G4mingWithJJ]

I would think it’s been started or will be soon I think we get a snowrunner 2 like 2026 or 2027 but I’m not to sure I put up a poll on my channel to see what the viewers think for both snowrunner 2 and year 5 if your curious to see what many of the viewers think it has like almost 600 votes so far I think.

[@GhostofCerberus]

they seem to be determined to try to get away from snowrunner now and hopes something sticks.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah I think it’s just testing the waters and see what works and then make a snowrunner 2 but idk we’ll see I guess.

[@Bryan25105]

Nice 😊😊😊 more information is always better

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Thanks Bryan!

[@Haegemon]

The problem i see with a Snowrunner 2 game is, the focus of thet is haulin but also fixing the road, if they add elements from this spin off to Snowrunner 2 then what's the point of having 2 games that will end doing the same? The only aspect that could fall from this spinoff is the off-roading through mountains with scouts but the logistics don't seem avoidable in this one. RoadCraft could be the new Mudrunner/Snowrunner if the studio makes DLCs.

[@Haegemon]

If it's about the name, rhey could change it for Roadrunner 😅

[@Tikhon0FF]

Let's say thank you for the fact that "A MudRunner game" is not in the title😅

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Well for example the thing I’ve seen most people praise is being able to fix roads. So maybe they don’t keep a lot of the construction stuff for snowrunner 2 but maybe they allow you to pave roads maybe they allow you to cut down trees to make a path. It certainly wouldn’t take everything from RC or then as you said it would cannibalize all the sales of the game and people would just buy snowrunner 2. I think they maybe keep a thing or 2 and keep a thing or 2 from expeditions like say maybe the winch rope going out. But cut out stuff like drones dropping off fuel at your trucks and stuff. Personally I think that’s what they will do but we will have to wait and see.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Lol

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah or roadcraft a snowrunner game lol

can u also ask if it would run on a low end pc

[@MD-gk4uh]

What a disappointment. You can tell how they want to keep the hype up by not saying what is clear as day negative news. Hey, they want a SR with ability to build and fix/improve roads, so let’s give the that part, but separately in another game, where they won’t actually get to use those roads after they are build/fixed 😂 Now, of course they have to “make use of them” in a small limited way so they can avoid the obvious complain. But it’s clear that it is going to be in some FAKE way like AI (who the hell cares about AI being able to use better roads?! HALLO!) or they will let you drive that one/two mission afterwards in order to claim your building them has a purpose. They could have easily combine all three games in one using a new and better engine and have all types of game dynamics available to everyone taste. Have dynamically generated missions so you can play for ever. Make them take into account other dynamically changing things so they will never be the same. In essence, use AI of some sorts that takes everything in account. You want to build road to somewhere so you can use highway tracks and save on fuel, maintained and be number of trips you take? Use your construction crew than and off you go. Don’t like that and want to strangle in the mud, leave that part of gameplay out. Etc. Roads that get damaged through use, weather, random disasters like floods/avalanches (after heavy rain/snow) and heavy vehicle. Make maintenance of vehicle a thing based on use and abuse you do to them. Want to overload you small track and go trough heavy terrain, well you suspension or wheel bearing deteriorate faster so use larger track and better roads/ drive slower over bumps instead. I can go on and on. This is just milking money.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah they mentioned we would be able to use the roads after the built to deliver cargo. But I do agree with you it will not be much deliveries. As they also said it will be mainly focused on the construction not as much of a driving sim game. But yes you can use ai it sounds like idk if they have a use or if it’s better to do it yourself/ more fun maybe you gotta set up supply routes or something so that’s Grindy so they added ai to make it better im not really sure I think that goes to the part if they want it to be construction focused. So they wanted to give people the ability to use ai. I could be wrong and probably am as so little info has come out so far. I will disagree they couldn’t have put all 3 games into 1 because this one uses a new engine they could have however I think put expeditions into snowrunner they said that’s the same engine with some improvements maybe that wouldn’t have been possible too. I will agree hat maybe they take both games down a notch both RC and Expeditions and they could have fit into snowrunner if that’s what you meant. I think they could have utilized the ports and train stations to offer missions like you say to bring supplies to certain lots for example if a spot has spare parts you could take some from a rail yard and bring them to the warehouse or something. I do agree it would have been nice to have the options to do way you describe like fix a road to use highway trucks or if you want to just go into the kid you have that option as well. These are good suggestions that I think would be great additions to this game or the future snowrunner game. I think it’s safe to say they will not continue snowrunner forever so taking notes for the next game is probably happening now if not development. Overall I think we both want what’s best for the game so these criticisms are because we want the game to be better than it is. It’s great but could be better. Thanks for the comment this is a long one and I love hearing from you guys in the community because you guys think of stuff that I wouldn’t. Like the overloading and having things break faster I like that idea and many others you pointed out.

[@MD-gk4uh]

@@G4mingWithJJ I meant that they don’t need to produce another two games. They should have used the new game engine and produced Snowrunner 2.0 that had the construction ability, among other things. We need game dynamics and physic improvements and not just more maps and tracks that up-one each other in a linear fashion so you have a reason to buy stuff. The way they made transmission work in SR is a joke. The highway tires or tracks are useless. There is never a second thought when buying a mud tire that makes you go: man, I’m loosing all this dry wether and pavement grip if I slap a huge highway tire on. Speaking of tires, they should wear out. Highway tires could last long time on highway but mud tires could get ruined way faster if driven on hard ground and at fast speeds. Your lifted track should not be able to carry as much weight when lifted and you should be much more tipi at higher speeds with them. Want suspension that are tall and can carry same load, they will cost you more and your truck will be more rigid therefore the off road grip and articulation will suffer. Want to drive a single axle track with heavy load? More damage to bearings, faster tire wear and slower speed over bumps needed before damage. More weight per axle in a trailer means more damage to the roads and you need to rebuild them more often or contract better more expensive roads, so use trailers and tracks with additional axels for heavy roads to guard against it. Gunning that low power engine at max RPM to goal too heavy of a load or while going through mud for long time means more oil changes and other maintenance cost. There should give you reason to pick one upgrade over the other and why you should have a big highway semi next to small lifter mud capable vehicles. One will do 50 tons down the highway while other might do max 10ton so it wouldn’t be economical to do long highway sorties with track set up for mud. Want to be able to transport 50tons in a mud? You need a huge track that will not be as maneuverable or be able to access small back roads. Make tracks more simulated so that we like one over the other for reason other then what we have now. Say, some highway tracks should be tough and require less maintenance or maintained on them could be less expensive, while others could be much stronger but more sensitive so you might use big highway tracks only for big and long missions and not wasting them for small loads. How many things I can think of that doesn’t even require new engine just some code, jet all we ever get each season is more maps and tracks.

[@kanister60l39]

and still No body flex 🤦

[@G4mingWithJJ]

I didn’t pay attention to it but probably yes

[@truenoguy4159]

The whole Ai delivery thing ruins the game for me. It feels less like a development of the MudRunner/SnowRunner series and more like a cheap knockoff of Construction Simulator with unlicensed vehicles.

[@hermanjohnson9180]

I suspect that the AI vehicles will be in place of human players for co-op. For example in snowrunner if you attach a winch to another vehicle that's on, the AI controls the second vehicle

[@palladiamorsdeus]

So drive them yourself? Nothing says you have to use the convoy system.

[@johneeejohn]

Hopefully, the AI will be used to make the world feel more alive. Let’s say building a factory in a secluded area is the mission. So you make the roads, clear the building area, and build the factory. Once complete, you set the AI path and they will more or less run the business. So you’ll see trucks coming/going to the factory in your gameplay. The more missions completed, the more trucks driving around. Plus the AI could create random instances of road damage that you need to fix to keep business/income rolling in. Based on the AI described in the Space Marines 2 Gamescom interview this seems very doable…or maybe I’m asking too much.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Yeah the way I understand it if you build roads and stuff and then you can use ai to deliver stuff but you could also drive them yourself if you wanted. That’s the way they made it sound maybe I am wrong on that but if that’s the not the case then yeah that would be kind of disappointing as then the ai does the delivering part for a good chunk.

[@G4mingWithJJ]

Oh that’s an interesting take Herman. I didn’t think of that as being how it worked but maybe that’s an option I think you sorta put waypoint on the map and the truck follow it so if you don’t make good roads or a good route they will get stuck. But I also think you can drive them yourself as I haven’t seen anything that says you have to have ai do them.
